Just to report that my 55mm M/S lenses have been successfully transplanted onto my TL120, using John Thurson's lensboards. A very small trimming of the edge of the board was necessary, but very easy with a Dremel tool. I remounted the lenses into older silver Seiko shutters, which I stripped of their mechanical gears and shutter parts. The chrome on chrome looks pretty cool. Everything works well, and I am waiting for my first 2 test rolls to be processed.

Thanx to John and the MF3D community for his efforts in designing and providing these great TL-120 boards. I suppose we could consider him "Board Certified"...

Take more stereo photos!

Hi Kevin,

It would be nice if you posted some pictures of your modified camera
with the cool chrome mounts !
